To help us think, talk and teach about the rights and responsibilities of citizens
in our democracy, we invite you to explore 100 milestone documents of American
history. These documents reflect our diversity and our unity,
our past and our future, and mostly our commitment as a nation to continue to
strive to "form a more perfect union."

The Our Documents initiative is a cooperative effort among National History Day, The National Archives and Records Administration, and USA Freedom Corps.

Major support for the
Our Documents
initiative provided by:

Students and Teachers: Make History Come Alive in the National History Day Competition!

Find out which documents We, The People, chose in a recent vote as the most influential in U.S. History.
